Considering that the forefathers in the north fought and died to free the slaves in the south, why is there animosity towards whites in the north. If history has anything to do with this wouldn't there be only brotherly love in the north?

If you think these people are using logic or reason or nuance, you are the fool.

This is a lynch mob. The beginnings of a reign of terror unless they are put down and the ones fomenting this violence stopped.

Nope, cause many were victims of race baiting.

I’m convinced it’s about erasing history rather than trying to make it right. This is such an insane time.

They didn't. They fought to preserve the Union.

Yeah, except you're erasing from history all the racist white northerners. White northerners fought the South, but that doesn't mean their grandchildren were at all welcoming when blacks moved north during the Great Migration. A few examples: in the 1920s, Indiana's governor and a majority of its State Assembly were Klansman. Boston has a GIANT history of awful racism. White flight was just as bad in metro Detroit and Chicago as anywhere in the South.

I think racism is probably worse in the North than in the South
